A Letter From The President,

a Letter From The Presi1ens'
Dear Editor:-The moon has
done the waxing and waning act
several times since l last wrote you,
but my silence was not caused by |
any Of your criticisms concerning
my administration, which | must
confess evinced great wisdom and
broad ideas of states manship. l am
referring to your criticisms, not my
administration. 1 always had a
tough hide but since | have been in
the President business my cuticle
would compare Cavnrably with that
Of a rhiuoceros in point of toughness
If / had as much money as my hide
is tough [ would buy myself a
Southern land boom. Business
here is tolerabie fair, though the
saloon men complain of dull times
since Congress has adjourned. We
are having some beautiful weather
nov. This is lovely town wheT1
the trees are all dressed in their
summer clothes and the grass is the
color Of a new Congressman. We
haYe more trees here than in any
other town within my Presidential
jurisdiction Why don't you pre-
vail IN your town authorities to
decorate your streets with shade
trees? Nothing adds 50 much to
the beauty of town as shady streets.
Speaking of Offices and bOoms, what
do you think Of Coy, Hill, of New
Yor /? 1t looks to me as if lie were
irving TO work up little Presiden-
tial boom for himself. Ii he cap
lures New York. my name is Den
mis-. l see Id Dana, of the Sun has
commenced his mOnkey-doodle bus
mess again. Let him rip, say l. l
got there Eli once without his aid,
and / lieve I can do the same
thing again, l am trying TO retain
my grip on The mug Numps, but
they are as slippery as eels. The
corn-fed Democrats, whose motto
is ''To the coquerers belong the
plumber" have nearly worried the
life out of me, but I think have
made a pretty fair record chOPping
off Republican heads. l notice that
Coy Taylor has flung his political
fat in the fire. My opinion is that
he is "a gone fawn-skin." You
fellows down there nee1 not worry
oyer the Blair bill. If it eyer gets
through Congress I will smash 1t in
the snoot with my self-cocklng veto
am giving You straight goods, and
no SON Of.a-gun of a Blair bill can
come monkeying around me with
out suffering segere bodily injury, 1
have a very fine veto that works
like a rabbit-fo9t. 1 see that John
Sherman has been prancing around
IN the South, and that Jim Blaine
is nosing around out West. That's
all right. Pm not afeaId Of 'em.
What do you think of the Inter =
state Commerce bill? | signed it
but / don't know a blamed thing
about it. | have appointed tie
commissioners and if they and tie
railroad men can't interpret the law
can't Lelp it. 1 hope it Will not
interfere with your travelling. As
you remarked to me tFe last time
you were here, without free passes
most editors would be like charity
they would never get away from
home. l will not take up any more
OF your valuable time. Lamont
sends che best regards he has on
hand, and Mrs. Cleveland requests
me to thank you for the mess of
turnip greens sent her a few weeks
since. Yours For Re Election,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

WE can GET.

A glance at RAND, MCNALLY &CO.'s
Railroad Map of Ohio gives come very in
teresting information. It shows the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, starting at To
ledo and running through to B~OwestOwn,
from where il IL 20 be extended to the Ohio
river. From Toledo to BOwerstown the
principal towns it takes in are Fremont,
Oak Harbor, NOrwalk, Wellington, OrSille
and MassillOn.
Next comes the Valley Railway, which
is finished from Cleveland to Valley June,
ton, on the Wheeling and Lake Erie, fifty
miles from Wheeling. The principal towns
on this branch are Cleveland, Akron and
Canton. Next on the list is the Cleveland
and Canton Railway, which is finished
from Cleveland to Sherrodsyille, on the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, forty-three miles
from Wheeling. The principal towns it
takes in are Cleveland, Canton and Kent.
Next we find the Lake Erie, Alliance
and Southern Road finished from Paines-
Vile, on the Lake Shore, to BerghOlz,
twelve miles from the main line Of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie, at HoPedale.
II takes in Alliance, PainesYille, Niles,
etc. Then comes the Mount Vernon, Co
shocton and Wheeling, or, more properly,
is 10 come, through from Marion, making
a bee line through Ohio for the great
Wabash.
The South Penn and Ohio is a proposed
road, the'compAny Is or~gLuized-and have
taken up all the right of way between
Martins Ferry and Bowerstown-tO build
the link between the west end of the Union
bridge and BOwerstown, bringing to
Wheeling the W. x L. f, Valley road,
and c. & c.
All the lines mentioned aim to get to
Wheeling by the proposed Union railroad
bridge.
Besides these il the Cleveland, Lorsin
and Wheeling which has already trains
running through to Martins Ferry.
The roads mentioned above are simply
the main lines. They have innumerable
branches tapping the country in all direc,
lions. Small towns are so thick on the
map that the white paper can scarcely be
seen. All these would have al outlet to
Wheeling through the Union bridge, where,
Is now they pay their tribute to Cleveland
and Pittsburg.
1t is entirely reasonable to suppose that
when these roads come in from the West
they will seek eastern outlets of their OWL
accord. Indeed, it must be the natural re.
suit. Eastern connections will hasten tC
meet them at Wheeliug's grand Union de-
pot, making our solid old town tar solidel
and Wheeling one of the most important
railroad centres in the country.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, September I, 1857.
Honorable Amor Smith, Dr., MdyOr, CiRcH-
matt, Ohio:
DEAR SIR have received the invita-
ton kindly rendered me on behalf of the
municipal authorities, the commercial ex-
changes and other civic organizations OF
Cincinnati to visit that city during my
contemplated trip to the West and South.
l am in receipt OF like invitations from
many other localities, and l have delayed
action thereupOn until | could definitely
determine which OF them my time and pos
tive engagements already made would
permit me To accept. To my regret | now
find il necessary to send TO "A large number
of them replies similar TO this.
The trip is to be undertaken for the pur-
pose Of fulfilling my promises to visit st.
Louis and Atlanta. The dates of these
visits are fixed, and as both are included
10 a single trip, the time intervening be-
tween these dates is substantially all that
can be devoted to visiting other cities. 1t
is a physical impossibility in these clrcum-
stances to accept all the kind and cordial
invitations which have been extended to
ME; and | have been Obliged to mark out a
route of travel, and select as stopping
places, such cities as are on the way, or
which for other controlling reasons 1T
seems most desirable to visit at this time
! am sorry that this plan precludes the
possibility of my acceptance OF your invita-
ton; and | trust that the good people of
Cincinnati will not attribute my failure
to comply with their wishes, so warmly
and 80 heartily expressed, to any want OF
appreciation of their regard or to any lack
Of desire to be their guest.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
